I did Speech and Debate (specifically Congress) last year and really enjoyed it, however my health has been worsening due to some chronic health conditions I have and this made it so I wasn't able to participate in very many tournaments. I would get too stressed out right before tournaments, causing flare-ups that prevented me from attending my event the next day. Also, it was more time consuming than I had expected and my illnesses require a lot of rest, so I didn't end up managing my time well last season. My brain fog causes my researching, speechwriting, and processing to be a bit slower than my teamates and competitors as well .

I heavily debated not continuing my participation this year, but Speech and Debate gave me so many valuable experiences and connections I would never come across on my own that I really came to enjoy it.

Does anyone have suggestions on how I can make this year easier and more compatible with my conditions?

Hello! I am a high school student looking at degree + career paths and I’m considering repatriating artifacts as a potential job eventually. I haven’t been able to find many resources online about schooling and job requirements and I was wondering if anybody could tell me some more information! Also, I’d like to work internationally if possible, not just domestically with NAGPRA. I’d love to know any requirements or suggestions it takes to work in repatriating artifacts :)) (ex: degrees, experience, etc)

Hello! I run an ASMR repost account on Pinterest and I was aware there could be copyright issues with that, so I make it clear my account only posts reposts and I credit OPs in my captions (also I’ve seen several other repost accounts so I assumed it would be fine). When I logged in this morning, all of my pins were deleted, except for posts I’d created myself. I haven’t gotten any emails or messages in notifications about this. When I go into my boards that have my created pins saved, they say “Unavailable Removed by creator” even though I didn’t delete them. Is this a glitch or something else?

Edit: It’s not just on my end - one of my followers let me know it looks the same for her as well.
